The Z-Man Kicker CrabZ are designed to look like a delicious snack that inshore predators love. They accurately imitate a sideways swimming crab, which is a favorite food for fish like redfish, speckled trout, flounder, snook, and more. These baits have an anatomically accurate profile with a lifelike kicker claw, segmented legs, eyes, and antennae. The streamlined shape and convenient hook slot make it easy to rig them weedless. You can fish them in different ways, such as hopping or dragging them along the bottom or swimming them through the water column. The 10X Tough ElaZtech construction makes them supple yet durable, giving them a lively swimming action and allowing them to last longer than traditional soft plastic baits. These versatile baits can be rigged on a jig head, Texas rigged, or with various weighted swimbait hook systems. They have won the 2022 Best in Category Award for Saltwater Soft lures at ICAST.
